It’s sockapalooza time
With yesterday being the first official send-off day for Sockapalooza packages, I decided to get mine out the door and on its way to its intended recipient. This being my first ever yarn/knit/package etc swap, I don’t know really what all is the norm to be included in these packages, but I included the following:
Socks , of course (wearing a label I found here)
pattern: modified version of Turtlegirl’s Red Dwarf Socks , using a diamond lace panel from a random pattern that I had in my collection, reversed on one sock so they’re mirror images when worn
yarn: Knit One Crochet Two “Wick”
filled with
Panda Cotton, colorway cinnamon (I think? I forgot to write it down)
and…handmade stitchmarkers
I also included a local treat, taffy from Marini’s on the wharf in a cute collectible tin.
To top it all off, my friend Rachel made me a card that I think is very cute, and even in colors that match the rest of the package!
I’m hoping that my pal enjoys the package. I had fun putting it together, and now I’m excited to see the reaction.
Oh, and I wonder what’s coming my way?

I like the idea of sending a local treat. Great idea!
What a great package! Personally, I’d be ecstatic (ok, I think it’s spelled wrong, but no dictionary, and no spell check in comments – sorry) if that package was coming to me! And in a small world way, my son just recently moved from Santa Cruz. You’ve sure sent along a great package. I’m sure your sock pal will be pleased.
What a great package. You went above and beyond. Your sock pal will be thrilled.
I love my package! The socks are so comfy and I love all the goodies you included too! Thanks for being such a great buddy! I’ll be posting pictures to my blog later today, now that we’re back in town.
